DELTA Series

DELTA Handheld XRFfor Positive Material Identification (PMI)

2 3

Configured with a standard package of more than 25 elements, the DELTA generates alloy chemistry and grade ID in seconds. From simple sorting to challenging grade

separations, the DELTA provides highly specific material chemistry to rapidly and accurately identify pure metals and alloy grades including, but not limited to:

• Aluminum alloys

• Chrome-moly steels

• Cobalt alloys

• Copper alloys

• Exotic alloys

• Magnesium alloys

• Nickel alloys

• Nickel-cobalt alloys

• Precious metals

• Stainless steels

• Tool steels

• Titanium alloys

• Wrought aluminum alloys

• Zinc alloys

• Zirconium alloys

When you need a reliable analysis tool to provide fast and accurate Positive Material Identification, turn to the DELTA. From turnings, shavings, rods, and wires to small parts and

components, to more sizeable material or structures, the DELTA provides anywhere, anytime testing with faster and more accurate results than ever before.

The DELTA is a reliable and rugged analyzer that maximizes both speed and accuracy. The need to determine whether an ID is incorrect or if longer testing is required needs to be balanced with maximum testing speed without increasing the risk of mistaken IDs or erroneous readings.

Olympus’ SmartSort solution automates all these decisions, enabling even inex perienced operators to maximize both speed and inspection accuracy. This powerful feature yields optimized throughput and accuracy, making the DELTA an extremely productive XRF tool for alloy inspection.

SmartSort Mode• Enables specific grades to be set up to automatically extend

testing time, thus preventing mix-ups

• Maximizes efficiency for speed testing. Automatically extends tests for light elements (Mg, Al, Si, P, S) when absolutely necessary, thus eliminating unnecessarily long tests, and preventing mix-ups

• Makes the DELTA an extremely fast and accurate inspection tool

Grade Match Messaging• Enables qualitative information and messages to be added into

the grade ID library

• Fully customizable messages allow for refinery-specific coding messages

• Can be used to store multiple Messaging libraries for individual work sites

Tramp Library• A long-time standard feature in OES systems, the DELTA is the

first Handheld XRF to incorporate this feature

• Allows operators to set a max tolerated concentration for individual elements in 7 unique grade families; these elements are considered “tramp” or “residual” elements

• The DELTA comes preloaded with a tramp library based on industry standards

• The analyzer can identify and report tramp material, enabling the user to simplify grade matching by not having to count small, expected amounts of tramp elements against the grade match

• Detects and quantifies tramp residuals critical to selective corrosion investigations and failure analysis

High-Temperature Ready• The DELTA is engineered to be utilized for in-service

inspection of high temp systems with temperatures in excess of 426 °C (800 ºF)

• Industry-exclusive heat sink dissipates heat away from the XRF electronics

• Can be used for longer durations in hot environments

• Facilitates enhanced reliability of key XRF electronic components

• Provides faster cooling of electronics after exposure to high temperatures

The powerful DELTA Handheld XRF maximizes both speed and accuracy for alloy and metal ID, quality control and assurance, safety and maintenance. The DELTA Knows Metal and Alloys

Welding Grade Library• Can be activated alongside the standard inspection library for

comprehensive PMI work

• Provides easy grade addition or editing onboard the analyzer

• Standard Grade Match Messaging library included

Small Component and Weld AnalysisIntegrated Small-Spot CollimatorDELTA Analyzers have a standard 9 mm spot size, but can be equipped with a 3 mm diameter spot collimator for highly focused sample analysis. This provides the capability of analyzing thin weld beads independent from substrate materials and small fixture components, wires, and solders.

• Spot sizes can be changed by simply touching the screen.

• An integrated full VGA camera takes a live video image of the sample tested and superimposes a spot location for precise test location.

• The sample image is saved to memory after analysis. The image can be archived along with the analysis results and exported for simple report generation.
